when you are old

I like Kim Ki-duk's movies and people who can tell stories.
However, I can only write this movie review on impulse, because I am a girl who has been in love with my husband for 2 years.
Forgive me, I always refuse to call myself a woman, if possible, I hope to call myself a girl for the rest of my life, so that I can be forever young and always loved by him like a treasure.
Halfway through the movie, I said to him, hey, I had this idea too. Just change a face, but the body is still your own, can you feel me? He shook my hand, yes, the hand feels the same.
But Xue Xi didn't feel Zhiyou's hand, really not. If you love someone, how can you not feel it, just touch, hug, kiss, make love, you can't feel that person.
I'm not that fragile and sensitive Xue Xi, I'm another melancholy and lost self.

A psychologist once wrote that a mature relationship that can be called true love must go through four stages: codependent, counterdependent, independent, and interdependent. The time required to transition between stages is not always the same, and varies from person to person. However, most people do not pass the second or third stage.
It turns out that to love someone, the effort required is not just to retain youth, or ever-changing beauty.

I like the ending of the movie, you can't find him, no matter how you find him, it's like a past that can't be found. You have lost yourself for a long time, from the moment you started doubting him, without yourself, there is no love.
I think, you don't love Zhiyou too much, you don't love yourself too much.

Yeats said, I like the version translated by Bing Xin the most.

How many people have loved the film of your youth,
loved your beauty, with hypocrisy or true affection,
but only one loved your pilgrim heart, and
the traces of the years on your sad face.

The most beautiful ending, Hyun Sung decades later, will still read like this. Maybe missed, but once loved.

    Time can change everything. I like the name Time because it better reflects the original intention of the director to make this film. What we see and feel is different. Many people can't understand Shixi's idea. I seem to understand and accept it a little. Time is really scary, she just wants to fight time in her own way. She loves him too much, she is too passive in the relationship between the sexes, and the madness of passive domination seems to have made her taste the sweetness of the initiative, but in fact she has stepped into the abyss of doom. After watching it, I was very depressed. I was depressed for a long time before I burst into tears. I was afraid of Director Jin's film because the ending made me shudder...

    I really didn't have the courage to watch the plastic surgery scene at the beginning. . . I really don't understand why the heroine has to live with her
